This global strategy and action plan on ageing and health also responds to the recently endorsed Sustainable Development Goals, an integrated, indivisible set of global priorities for sustainable development. Ageing is an issue that is relevant to 15 of the 17 Goals.

It also outlines concrete actions that can be taken within this framework during the five-year period 2016–2020.
